Lazio have named Maurizio Sarri as new coach.

Sarri takes charge on a two-year deal.

The Serie A giants issued a cryptic tweet on Wednesday morning, using just an emoji of a cigarette before going on to publish an image of a playing tracksuit and a bank.

All items were a nod to Sarri, who is known all over football for his tendency to smoke on the touchline, where permitted, while also wearing a club tracksuit as his staple attire.

Sarri, a former bank manager, has signed on the dotted line until June 2023 and will oversee a new era for Lazio.
